Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the anatomical and functional results of viscoimplantation and hydroimplantation techniques in monofocal foldable intraocular lens implantation.
 Materials and Methods: The study included 387 patients older than 50 years who underwent surgery for senile cataract. They were divided into two subgroups as hydroimplantation (group 1) and viscoimplantation (group 2).
 Results: The mean implantation time was 397.5±44.3 s in group 1 and 580±105.1 s in group 2. During the follow-up period (12 months), 4 (2.1%) patients in group 1 and 28 (14.6%) patients in group 2 developed posterior capsular opacification. The implantation time was shorter and the rate of posterior capsular opacification was lower in group 1 compared to group 2 (p
